Allard School of Law History Project LLM Scholarship

Allard School of Law History Project LLM Scholarship

The Peter A. Allard School of Law is offering a one-year scholarship of $15,000 to support an LLM student during the 2016-17 academic year who intends to use the materials and resources available through the Allard School of Law History Project to write a thesis on the history of legal education or the legal profession, or on some other aspect of British Columbia’s legal history.
Allard School of Law History Project
Through the generous donation of Peter A. Allard, Q.C., the Law School established the Allard School of Law History Project to collect, preserve, and communicate its rich history and the history of legal education and the legal profession in British Columbia. Using an online archive to allow broad access, the Project aims to capture something of the experiences of people who passed through the school as students, faculty, or staff, and of those who have made significant contributions to the development of the law in British Columbia. This involves collecting documentary material and an ambitious oral history project. More than 40 interviews are already lodged in the UBC Archives and available on the Allard School of Law History Project website: http://historyproject.allard.ubc.ca/. Work continues to build the documentary and oral histories collection.
Allard History Project LLM Scholarship
The Allard School of Law History Project LLM Scholarship is to support a student who intends to use the material collected through the Project in his or her LLM thesis, and, by doing so, to contribute to the history of the legal profession and/or to the legal history of British Columbia.
To apply, include an expression of interest in the History Project LLM Scholarship in your LLM application (details below) and provide details of how you propose to use the History Project materials in your thesis proposal. Please contact Douglas Harris, Nathan T. Nemetz Chair in Legal History (harris@allard.ubc.ca), if you have questions about the Allard School of Law History Project or the LLM Scholarship.

On behalf of the Osgoode Society for Canadian Legal History, we welcome you to the Canadian Legal History Blog.

We hope the blog will prove a useful place for the wonderful community of legal historians we have in Canada. It won't be the place to go to discuss the meaning of the second amendment of the US constitution, or medieval pleading and practice, but we want it to be where we share knowledge and discuss aspects of the unique and exciting legal history of our country.

Please send us your news and/or views on research, publications, conferences and all things Canadian-legal-historical! If you would like a chance to post yourself, let us know and we'll gladly add you to the list.

To comment on a post, use the comment feature, or just send us an email.
